I agree with Shodown's list. Start with the intake, then catback, then headers. That way you can start with what's the cheapest and what'll add the biggest benifit.

Dont get headers if you plan on turboing it. That would be a waste.

yes but which is better??? and the price of each? see i need to know my options on them and thanks alot for the help see i dont know much about cars...LOL

That depends. FFF makes a kit that replaces the y pipe and runs up to the turbo. Not too many people run the forward flowing headers too much anymore.

Turbo....$2500 for a used kit plus a TON of fabrication and tuning.

Nitrous.....$1000 for brand new kit/accessories and VERY minor fab work and little tuning.

*Edit, I meant brand new kit nitrous kit. You could save around $200 on a used kit.

is it possible to twin turbo a v6? im not going to do it but i am curious as to if its possible. and also is adding a cold air intake a good idea?

Anything is possible as long as you have money.

Yes, a CAI would be better than stock.

Nobody has done a twin turbo set up yet, but as paar said, anything is possible. It just takes money.

is it seriously 1000 for a 3.8 kit? if it is that makes me feel good cause for my 3.4 it is only 550

 
Rep Power: 665

LOL good point...lol it sounded about right for the 3.8 but i think i can find cheaper maybe

No, the kit itself brand new is about $500, but after the accesories that are necessary it ends up nearly $1000.

NOS 5175 kit....$525
Bottle heater....$130
Purge kit..........$100
Fuel press gauge...$200
N2O press gauge...$50 (bottle mounted)

Total....$1005 Although, with used parts you could save around $250 if you are patient and find the right deals.

Now, if you want a lil more accessories and bigger than an 85 shot:

Remote bottle opener....$160
N2O pillar gauge...........$200 (instead of bottle mounted)
Walbro fuel pump..........$125
New jets.....................$15

Another.....$500

This is without any tuning either which is not 100% needed, but your are asking for trouble without it. Tuning is a whole cost in itself.

i would think a single turbo large enough would be just fine on a 3.8. turbo kits are pretty easy to put together. just get one thing at a time. turbo, headers, injectors and so on. you can buy a lot of the stuff used and then get it tuned.

also im gonna add that if u do plan on going with what shodown said and using nitrous, if ur thinking about using a big shot then there are other internal parts that you would probably wanna change and if ur engine has alot of miles or runs kinda weak u would have to replace some stuff before u add a big shot, just so u know
